Ministers approved as a basis for negotiating a Protocol amending the Memorandum between the governments of Bulgaria and Romania to carry out in-depth studies to build new bridges on the Danube, signed on October 28, 2014 in the city. Bucharest Romania, the Press Center of the Council of Ministers announced.

The analysis shows that in recent years the road traffic through the Danube Bridge Rousse - Giurgiu has increased. The existing facility was open to exploitation more than 60 years ago and its technical capabilities do not result in traffic easing. The construction of a new facility at Rousse - Giurgiu will significantly alleviate the existing traffic, reduce the negative impact on the environment and have a positive overall economic impact on both sides

With the signing of the Protocol, the two parties will support studies to build a new bridge over the Danube River in Rousse - Giurgiu, thus laying the foundation for expanding transport links and increasing economic activity. At the same time, the expressed will of the leaders of the Balkan countries to improve the transport connectivity in the region is taken into account. Support for the construction of a new Danube River facility at Ruse - Giurgiu is also expressed by the local and regional authorities of the two countries.
